    Flashbacks of the 2-3 good seasons Fien had, maybe? It makes no sense to give up on Kintzler when his value is the highest. If he pitches like he did last year, then the Twins should move him at the deadline for a prospect or two. If he turns into 2016 Fien, then say goodbye midseason. I've also had a change of heart about Santiago... since there are virtually no talented starters on the free agent market, I guess they should hand $8M to Santiago and give him a rotation spot. Hopefully he will regress to the mean and match his career numbers, and maybe you could trade him midseason. If not, it's only a one year deal, and you move on.

    I think we are overblowing the Twins' amount of interest in Napoli... I don't see how he would want to play for the worst team in baseball, especially after nearly winning in the World Series. Plus he's either a 1B or DH... and we have our hands full there.

    Hmmmm... Castro's a poor batter with a big strikeout problem who gets on base at a decent clip. I'll have to look up how he does defensively, but it seems most people think he's above average. I'm glad they finally are focusing on defense behind the plate, but I have my concerns about giving a 30 year old catcher who's hitting .215 in his last three seasons a 3 year deal where he gets about $8M a year. So I'm feeling "meh" about this signing.

    I forgot about the Rule 5 Draft, the Twins can definitely fill that final 40 man spot with a solid guy. So does anyone think any of our unprotected guys will get claimed? Any Zach Jones-esque guys?

    I double-checked my sources and you are correct, he hasn't cleared waivers yet. Some have said that they expect him to clear waivers. Sorry about that false information.
  6. Danchat
    Getting waived is basically the same as being non-tendered, right? And not one team was willing to claim him and give him his arbitration salary of $8-9M... if I understand the process correctly. Well, Sano's got 3B all to himself now. I did like Plouffe, but it was time to move on. It is a pretty big disappointment that the Twins weren't able to trade him, but the market value of 3B is really low right now, so it is what it is. I hope he can find a starting job and have success elsewhere.

    Huh. I'm surprised that he never got a shot in the majors, but it was clear he wasn't going to make it with all those strikeouts, and the Twins don't need another below average outfielder defensively. I wish him success in Milwaukee.

    Maaaaaybe if you throw in Duensing, they'd do the deal. Wait. We don't have Duensing anymore. Guess we can't trade Dozier.

    Hmmm... so it seems the best fit for Vargas is as a lefties only platoon batter. Can Park hit righties well? Because then they'd form a solid combo. But I guess a Mauer-Vargas platoon wouldn't be bad either.

    After enduring this season, I'm going to rethink how I see MiLB stats. There's just been too many instances of a guy tearing up AAA and then falling apart upon reaching the bigs.
  11. Danchat
    Uh-oh... are they gonna blow this one?
  12. Danchat
    Let's also remember that he has only spent around 600 innings (most full time starters have 1,000+ innings at this point). So he's quickly accumulated that number and it'd be even worse if he had started the whole season.
  13. Danchat
    Clearly we need to find ways to get Milone and Berrios into the lineup. On a more serious note, Grossman's defense is so horrendously bad that only playing DH will give him any positive value with this team. So I'd much rather see Rosario in LF next year rather than Grossman out there.

    After today's Vikings game, I'm convinced Zimmer would do a better job coaching the Twins than Molitor would.
  15. Danchat
    Now there's a name that brings back some memories.
  16. Danchat
    I almost ended up going to this game. I'm kinda glad I didn't.
  17. Danchat
    According to MLB live, that home run should have not only been ball four, but it was also way below his knees.
  18. Danchat
    I don't think Pat Light understands how to throw a strike. EDIT: I think we'll be seeing Light in ESPN's not top 10 sports plays tomorrow.

    Detroit deserves not to score any runs that inning because they ordered a sacrifice bunt in the 1st inning. Against a struggling Berrios who can't throw strikes. The Tigers should be learning from our mistakes.
  20. Danchat
    That was an impressive strikeout of Cespedes by Wimmers. He's been pretty effective as of late. If Wimmers can improve his command and limit the walks, he could be a keeper in the bullpen.
  21. Danchat
    I have to admit we'd be doing better with you as the manager [for this game].
  22. Danchat
    If this is true... the Twins helped Fernando Abad to stop tipping his pitches and he had a much better season. Maybe if they can help Berrios figure out how to stop tipping pitches, he could do a 180?
  23. Danchat
    A noon game on a Thursday? Weird... can't imagine you draw many people for this game. This could be our last chance at crushing Pelfrey. Let's hope the Twins run up the score on him. (they'll need to run up the score anyways because Santiago is pitching.)
  24. Danchat
    The Twins just can't seem to catch a break. They signed basically the only Korean so far to not pan out. I still think it's too early to call him a bust - I think his wrist injury has factored into his poor play. Or at least I'll keep telling myself that.
  25. Danchat
    Yeah, I'm thinking Duffey's long term position is as a reliever.
